hi again heres the latest.....did a manual check on the car and we got 3 long flashes followed be 3 short flashes =33 on fault code this is a speed sensor...now i've tried to find out what exactly this means some say it's a part that goes in the gear box,some say it is the speedo cable?..when all this started happening the speedo went on the car this is a cable driven speedo which comes in 2 parts top and a bottom i've check the top and its ok had it on a cordless drill and it reads 20 mph on the clocks...i've yet to get the bottom part off and check it but its looking like it could be the cause of the speedo not working ,but i dont know if this is whats causing the fault code???????or is it a simple case of get a speed sensor problem solved i just dunno
